The superstar is here

Chapter 728 Slapped in the face?

There are currently two film schedules in China that are very popular with film distributors, that is, summer and Lunar New Year.

In addition, the National Day schedule is also very popular.

Summer vacation is a long vacation, and there are many college and middle school students watching movies now.

The Lunar New Year stalls also last for a long time, and the industry defaults from January to the end of February.

two months.

In the Lunar New Year stalls, there are not only winter vacations for students, but also annual vacations for office workers.

"Goodbye Ex 3", which took a total of one or two years of preparation, filming and post-production, will finally meet the audience immediately.

This type of movie is not like a sci-fi blockbuster.

The post-production of a sci-fi blockbuster usually takes a year or two, or even longer.

"Goodbye Ex." directed by Tian Xiaosheng, the post-production is very easy.

If it weren't for disgusting Li Yibai, it would have been released during the National Day schedule.

Because Li Yibai's "The Year in a Hurry 2" was released in this year's Lunar New Year file.

Tian Xiaosheng cooperated with the distributor to run across the country during this period, but it is a pity that Boyu Film and Television is still a newcomer in the film industry, and there is no big boss to lead the way and endorse it.

For example, when many directors in the film industry promote their films, they often have some well-known directors or big V stars to help promote them.

Tian Xiaosheng's qualifications are far behind Li Yibai's, and he doesn't have a big boss.

If it weren't for the distributor's perennial involvement in the film industry, Tian Xiaosheng would be very embarrassed, and he would not be able to invite well-known people in the industry to show respect.

In addition, Boyu Entertainment's strength in the variety show circle is also reflected.

Tian Xiaosheng has appeared on many programs during this period to promote his own film, relying on the contacts and resources accumulated by Bo Yu's production.

Whether it's a replacement of resources or an exchange of favors, Tian Xiaosheng doesn't have to worry about not being on the show.

Because Li Qiuting was busy filming the second part of "My Fair Princess", she never had time to accompany Tian Xiaosheng in publicity.

Although she is looking forward to the box office of "Goodbye Ex 3" this time.

However, the plot of the second part of "Han Zhu Ge Ge" is estimated to be twice as much as the first part.

Therefore, she didn't bother less than when filming the first film.

"Get rid of him and vent your anger for my sister." Li Qiuting didn't have time to promote the show with Tian Xiaosheng, but she called Tian Xiaosheng to encourage her.

The "he" she mentioned naturally refers to Li Yibai.

Back then, she thought she was a very good friend in the circle, but when she really needed him, she found out.

Turns out everything was fake.

She remembered what Chen Ziang said, a person is almost another person seven years ago and now.

The exchange of body cells can change a person's original intention.

When Tian Xiaosheng was on the show, the host had already been instructed to talk to him about movies.

A host once asked him: "We are all curious, why is this movie called 'Goodbye Ex 3', does it have a first and a second part?"

Tian Xiaosheng thought for a long time, and then replied: "The name of the movie was actually made by Zi Ang, and I was only in charge of filming."

The host and the audience were a little puzzled.

I don't understand because some people don't know Chen Ziang, and some people are because they wonder what kind of moth Chen Ziang is doing.

The host asked again: "Director Tian, ​​do you know why Zi Ang chose this name?"

Naturally, Tian Xiaosheng knew why, but he was half an actor, a celebrity who had appeared in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the skit "Follow It Like It", he pretended to be puzzled, and said: "I don't know, but Ziang said that the popular movie, There will always be a sequel, we add 3 to create an illusion. If it really becomes popular, we may go back to shoot 1 or 2. Isn’t it like this now, either a sequel or a prequel, or even a spinoff.”

The host and the audience were dumbfounded.

Those who know Chen Ziang feel that what Tian Xiaosheng said seems to be true, very similar to Chen Ziang's style.

The host asked with interest: "Why didn't Ziang take 2?"

Tian Xiaosheng's answer made the scene full of gunpowder.

He said, "Zi Ang said 3 is better than 2."

It seems to mean something.

As soon as the show aired, the media and good netizens seemed to be poked at the G-spot, and they were very excited.

"Tian Xiaosheng's "Goodbye to the Ex 3" and "The Year in a Hurry 2" were released on the same schedule, just one day apart."

"Does Tian Xiaosheng mean that his movie will overwhelm the sequel of "The Year in a Hurry" that became popular two years ago?"

"Grass, newcomers and new movies, the tone is so loud."

""The Year in a Hurry" was very popular back then. The 1000 million movie cost hundreds of millions at the box office, and the profit was dozens of times."

"When you become famous for acting in a sketch, you get carried away."

"No way, he is the director of "Tian Long Ba Bu"."

"Haha, are you done?"

"A work by Boyu Entertainment?"

"Now that it's lively, you know that Bo Yu's entertainment is dishonest, and he thinks the entertainment circle is not lively enough."

"Take the initiative to provoke trouble, this is it."

"Wait for the joke, the hype is endless now."

"Is that what you mean?"

"People just say that 3 is bigger than 2, there's nothing wrong with it."

"There are so many conspiracy theories. A simple sentence has to be misinterpreted into dozens of meanings."

"This is the human heart, it's normal."

"..."

After Li Yibai saw this sentence, he thought it was true.

Tian Xiaosheng was obviously looking for trouble, to gain a sense of presence.

"How does it feel?" He Xie, deputy director of Pearl Film and Television, chatted with Li Yibai.

Li Yibai's studio is affiliated with Pearl Film and Television, and Pearl Film and Television is his employer.

Pearl Film and Television is a major part of Pearl Entertainment, and Pearl Entertainment is one of the entertainment giants not weaker than Huanya.

"Every time this period comes, isn't there hype everywhere in the circle, it's normal." Li Yibai is very calm on the surface, and he has flourished in the past two years.

The films he directed or participated in have sold well at the box office.

Of course, because it is not a blockbuster movie with huge investment costs like Hollywood, the box office is incomparable.

But when it comes to profits, his productions are very high.

It is unmatched by Hollywood blockbusters or domestic productions.

A movie with an investment of [-] million, a box office of [-] billion, and an overall profit of ten times.

But the movie box office does not mean that the more you invest, the more you earn, and its ceiling can almost be seen.

For example, movies of the Billion Club are not seen everywhere, and these works are basically invested in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Even if a movie has an investment of one billion and a global box office of 100 billion, the profit is only ten times that.

Li Yibai has participated in more than ten times the works in the past two years.

Although on the surface he dismissed Tian Xiaosheng's provocation, Li Yibai was still very upset in his heart.

First of all, this rookie film director doesn't know how to respect his predecessors.

Secondly, he rose to prominence in the past two years with "The Year in a Hurry". Now that he is making the second film, he is full of confidence. How can Tian Xiaosheng compare with him?

In the end, when he remembered the scene when Li Qiuting exposed his face to his face, he felt very embarrassed, and his resentment towards Li Qiuting and Bo Yu Entertainment grew day by day.

"Do you want to give the media a few words of encouragement when you promote it?" He Xie asked with a smile.

Li Yibai hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's have a look again."

The next day, during the publicity, Li Yibai was interviewed by the media.

The media never thought it was a big deal, and asked Li Yibai: "Director Li, director Tian Xiaosheng said in the program broadcast yesterday that 3 is better than 2, and it seems to be saying that his movies are better than yours. What do you think?"

Li Yibai didn't really want Tian Xiaosheng to take advantage of the situation, so he didn't want to answer.

Although Li Yibai is not a great director in the film industry, he is not comparable to Tian Xiaosheng, who is making a film for the first time.

This topic is very hot now, if Li Yibai doesn't avoid it, he will add fire to this topic.

Isn't this promoting Tian Xiaosheng?

Li Yibai didn't want Tian Xiaosheng to take advantage of his traffic and popularity.

However, seeing that Li Yibai didn't want to answer, the reporter said again: "Director Li, do you have no confidence in your box office?"

Li Yibai was a little angry.

These media not only like to distort the facts, but also like to add embellishments, lest the world will not be chaotic.

And he didn't want to offend anyone, and he didn't want to offend the media.

The media goes crazy and can drive stars to death.

Otherwise it is depression.

How many celebrities have been depressed or even committed suicide because of unbearable pressure from public opinion.

And the media "indispensably contributed" to all this.

"Of course I have confidence in my movie box office." Li Yibai said with a smile: "In addition, I want to explain that in some poker games, 2 is higher than 3, and 3 is the smallest card."

When the media heard Li Yibai's words, they almost went crazy with joy.

Aw, shouting from the air, the two sides are tearing up.

On the same day, Li Yibai's remarks spread throughout the Internet.

"Damn it, Li Yibai is fierce."

"It's the first time I've seen Li Yibai so domineering."

"Haha, you're so overbearing."

"It should be like this, don't be cowardly, who is afraid of whom?"

"As expected of being an idol, dare to act and speak out, to kill that rookie director who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"The smell of gunpowder is so strong."

"Haha, is this torn up?"

"Obviously, cultural people have more connotations when tearing it up, and ordinary people can't understand it."

"As expected of young men of literature and art, they are torn up so gracefully."

"..."

Netizens are overjoyed.

After seeing Li Yibai's interview, Tian Xiaosheng had a bitter face.

Chen Ziang ordered him to tear Li Yibai apart and take the initiative to attack.

Said that he wants to get more traffic now.

Tian Xiaosheng was not very willing.

Chen Ziang said to him: To be thick-skinned, one has a bright future.Look at me now, I'm better than you, my wife is so beautiful, and I don't have a thick skin, how could I get rid of my wife early.

Tian Xiaosheng thought it made sense, but at the same time he was very depressed. This matter is still a bit unkind.

But in the end he followed Chen Ziang's suggestion.

Tear up Li Yibai.

Even if the opponent does not fight, there is no loss.

It's better if you take on the challenge, and you can add more topics to make your movie more exposed.

Entering the film industry, for Tian Xiaosheng, the sky and the earth are big, not as big as the box office.

"Xiao Li works in the personnel department on the third floor. A month ago, he was transferred to the administrative department on the second floor. Today, Xiao Li called the personnel department to ask him: Is Xiao Li there? The colleague who answered the phone said: Xiao Li has already I'm no longer in personnel affairs. Xiao Li: Ah!? When did it happen? Why don't I know, and I haven't had time to send him off yet?" Xiao Li: It's okay, you can go down to find him. "Tian Xiaosheng posted on Weibo, just this joke, and didn't say much.

But Weibo soon exploded.

Netizens left messages one after another, and everyone could see that the situation had escalated.

"I'll go, people with stories."

"I like cultural people, scolding and fighting are so interesting."

"What's the name of Li's colleague, please?"

"I don't know what the name is, but I'm sure it must be named Tian, ​​Xiaotian."

"Haha, let's see how Li Yibai responds."

"Berber, someone is causing trouble, what do you think?"

"..."

After Li Yibai saw Tian Xiaosheng's Weibo, he was so angry that he died.

What the hell, it's never over.

She's really thick-skinned.

People didn't want to pay attention to him, so he posted it.

"Look at the pre-sale box office!" Li Yibo couldn't help but also posted on Weibo.

Although "The Year in a Hurry 2" and "Goodbye to the Ex 3" have not yet been released, pre-sales have already started online.

In terms of box office pre-sale data, "The Year in a Hurry 2" has pre-sold several million.

And "Goodbye Ex 3" is only a few hundred thousand.

The pre-sale box office of "The Year in a Hurry 2" is more than ten times that of "Goodbye to the Ex 3".

Tian Xiaosheng was happy and depressed at the same time, this battle has made him angry now.

Before, he played purely according to Chen Ziang's suggestion, but now he is very upset that Li Yibai despises him.

Fighting and fighting, fake beatings become real beatings.

In a few days, "Goodbye Ex 3" was released first.

The box office on the first day was more than 300 million.

The cost of this movie is not much, it can break through 1000 million.

Of course, Wang Deng joined with a guarantee plus bonus, so the cost is not high.

With Wang Deng joining, the box office is only more than 300 million, which is a bit rushed.

No matter how new Tian Xiaosheng is, there is also Wang Deng, the current super first-line player behind him.

Seeing the box office data, Li Yibai became even more dismissive of Tian Xiaosheng and "Goodbye Ex 3".

These days, human integrity is becoming less and less valuable.

sell everything.

No morals are spared.

The box office of "Goodbye Ex 3" came out, and netizens were a little disappointed.

"Tian Xiaosheng still can't do it, it's a waste of heat."

"Yes, the pre-sale box office of "The Year in a Hurry 2" is more than the actual box office of "Goodbye to the Ex 3"."

"Well, the actual box office will be more than the pre-sale box office, and many people bought it on the same day."

"More than 300 million yuan is already considered acceptable. It is not difficult to recover the cost."

"If a new director doesn't lose money, it's considered a success."

"Fighting is not useless, at least the box office is not so flustered."

"..."

One day after "Goodbye Ex 3" was released, "The Year in a Hurry 2" was also released.

The next day, the box office data came out.

680 million.

"The Year in a Hurry 2" is about the sequel of the first part. Several former students have now graduated.

The story happened after they graduated.

On the second day after the release of "Goodbye Ex 3", the box office data rose slightly to 400 million.

"Although the box office of "Goodbye Ex 3" has risen, it is only more than half of the box office of "The Year in a Hurry 2."

"This newcomer's face was swollen from the beating."

"Sad Tian Xiaosheng."

"Boyu Entertainment really doesn't work, let's just say, how can they be popular wherever they hang out."

"..."

Tian Xiaosheng was also melancholy, ashamed to fight Li Yibai again.

"I'm so ashamed." Tian Xiaosheng complained to Chen Ziang.

It was Chen Ziang who asked him to do this, shame on him.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs." Chen Ziang smiled and said, "Also, you're too impatient. Don't you know word of mouth? Go up and read more movie reviews now."
